happened. in the last 30 minutes of the official spokesman for the syrian democratic force has confirmed that shamima begum's little baby boy has died. he wasn't yet three weeks old. we have spoken to paramedics who work at the camp in syria where shamima begum has been living for the last couple of weeks and they said the baby has run into breathing difficulties yesterday morning. it was seen by the clinic in the camp and then was taken to a local hospital where the baby was on a respirator for a while. they were unable to stop the baby from dying and the baby died at lunchtime, yesterday. shamima begum was then taken back to the camp with her dead baby son and the bike was buried at the internment camp. the family were unsure about reports they had at first. the family's

lawyer put out unconfirmed reports and since then they have been trying to get confirmation. it is only in the last few minutes that people have found the confirmation has come through. very difficult circumstances to be living in and for a tiny baby and the medical facilities there would not have been comparable to those in places in the developed world. shamima begum left britain as a schoolgirl to join the isa britain as a schoolgirl to join the is a mixed eight and as that situation deteriorated, she ended up sleeping outside through the syrian winter. her other two children both died before christmas. they were both also toddlers and then her newborn baby was actually born in the first internment camp that she was asked. she obviously was pleading to be allowed to come back to britain and bring her baby back. but she had a bad cough. you could hear it in the interviews that we did with her and it looks as if the

conditions were just no good at all for a baby who wasn't yet three weeks old. what do you think of the likely repercussions of the death of this little baby? clearly, the home secretary had stripped shamima begum of her british citizenship but her baby was a british citizen. her family, who four years ago everybody had a lot of sympathy for them because they had lost a schoolgirl who would run up to the islamic state. at that point shamima begum was treated as a victim who was being groomed. the family asked a british government to do two things. first, bring her home. the government said they had taken away their citizenship. they then said, there is a small baby here who is born to a british mother at the time. the home affairs select

committee... the family were saying, please bring the baby back. you need to let us look after the newborn baby. they got a letter back from the home office about that this week. they wrote to the home office secretary. they said it is not for the home office to do that. it is for the foreign office. how do we know that your lawyer is not acting on behalf of shamima begum? anyway, we wa nt on behalf of shamima begum? anyway, we want people not to go to syria. it was a bureaucratic response of the family got and of course it is all academic now. the baby is dead. any response yet from the government from the home office of the foreign 0ffice? from the home office of the foreign office? before the news was com pletely office? before the news was completely confirmed, it was put to the home secretary in a radio interview and he just said that... he said that it is advised not to go to syria. the problem for the

government is that ofjournalists have been able to go out to see shamima begum before the baby died. british forces are fighting alongside kurdish forces in northern syria. it would have been possible for someone to go and get the baby. it would have been possible, difficult, but possible. now, of course, it is not. thanks for joining us. the pilot, who crashed during the shoreham airshow, killing 11 men , has been found not guilty of manslaughter by gross negligence. andrew hill, who's 5a, had been performing a loop when his vintage hawker hunterjet crashed on to the a27 in west sussex four years ago and then exploded into a fireball. incredibly the former raf pilot was thrown clear of the wreckage and survived. it was the first time a pilot had been charged with manslaughter following deaths at an airshow. our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds, has been at the old bailey today. this was the worst airshow disaster

since the 1950s and an extremely technical trial. thejudge, the jury, the police had to become experts in flying. 0n jury, the police had to become experts in flying. on every day, the families of those who died were here watching the evidence. when the verdict came the judge said he could see that they were upset and he praised their dignity. the last seconds of andrew hill's flight. the 11 men who died were all on the busy a27, somejust passing by. a veteran chauffeur, workmates, friends heading home. this man died not knowing that he would become a father for a second knowing that he would become a fatherfor a second time. he... knowing that he would become a father for a second time. he... he has two little boys. they won't have their daddy. it isjust so cruel. there is something that could have been avoided, which seems quite

obvious, that it could have been avoided. it hasjust caused so much destruction to so many people. the two men had been driving to their football clu b two men had been driving to their football club when the plane hit their car. from the beginning, we thought it was absurd. my son has been killed by a jet fighter? it was just absurd. andrew hill, ex raf and british airways captain has always accepted that is flying that day was poon accepted that is flying that day was poor. i'm truly sorry for the part i played in their deaths. it is they that i will remember for the rest of my life. his cockpit ended up in a field. he was badly injured and crucially he had no memory of the flight. crucially he had no memory of the flight. no memory of being hundreds of feet too low during the fatal loop. he said he must have been physically affected by something. this is the home of the british aerobatic academy and in the back

seat the instructor teaches pilots from all over the world. one thing they learn, how to cope with g force, the extra force on the body in tight turns. he asked me to recite a nursery rhyme while pushing us recite a nursery rhyme while pushing us through six g, six times the earth's gravitational pull. humpty dumpty... humpty dumpty... all the kings horses, all the kings men, couldn't put... fighter pilots trained for this but andrew hill is no longer an raf pilot and the verdict was worrying for one of the victims family. we feel that the success victims family. we feel that the success of mr hill's defence of cognitive impairment is a worrying precedent and could have far—reaching consequences. precedent and could have far-reaching consequences. the case already has for those flying former military jets already has for those flying former militaryjets in air shows. they are

operated by companies and charities and this has raised big questions about safety. this air display team currently can't fly aerobatics in air shows over land. and after years of concentrating on protecting the safety of crowds at an airshow, now regulators are looking at the risks to people in surrounding areas.- the end of the day we have to be hugely sympathetic to what has happened. a due process has to take place and we expect that regulations will change and it is our duty as trustees, custodians of these aircraft, to work within those regulations and continue as best we can to display these assets to the public. next, come the inquest to the ii public. next, come the inquest to the 11 deaths. the victims families say they intend to play a full part. the victims families say they intend to play a full part. let's speak now to natalie graham from bbc south east today —

it's been another very difficult day here at sha, notjust for the wider community, but in particularfor the families of the ii community, but in particularfor the families of the 11 men who died here ona families of the 11 men who died here on a warm summer's day in august 2015. this is the old toll bridge which became the focus of an enormous wave of grief in the aftermath of the crash in august 2015 which took place a short distance from here. on that saturday lunchtime there were thousands of people on the 827 just behind passing through shaun. some of them came face—to—face at afternoon with unfolding disaster and my colleague pierce hopp kirk has been talking to some of those who witnessed the air crash and some who consider themselves fortunate to be alive. who has spent the day in shoreham. for some, the proximity to disaster could be measured in feet,

or fractions of seconds. oh boy, imaginejust being a few feet further forwards and that would have been it. ben and his entire family were in this van on a surfing trip to the coast. and suddenly, there isjust this almighty noise, i mean, it's so hard to describe. but the loudest roar i've ever heard in my life, probably the loudest noise i've ever heard. and suddenly, right there, i mean right there, is this huge plane. it missed us by what felt like inches, and then it crashed onto the car in front of us, and it was just this enormous ball of flame. i looked out of the windscreen and it was just like a war zone, just like carnage. reporter: a plane crashes at an airshow in shoreham, west sussex. eyewitnesses says it failed to complete a loop the loop. photographer archie saw the disaster unfell through his viewfinder. i didn't realise i had captured the image by a court, and it was only when i had seen it was that point, it really kind of hit home that that was literally

the point of impact. that, for me, as an image, is quite powerful. and the next image i've got is just a ball of smoke. there is nothing we can do except stay where we are... jasper and his band were driving to a gig on the isle of wight when he saw the plane behind them. yeah, i think i said to them, it looks like it's going to attack us, you know, it's really like bearing down on us. the car was hit by little bits, you know, of debris. and i thought, god, we might still make it, you know what i mean? and ijust shouted to the driver, put your foot down, we could all see it overtaking us on the left—hand side of the vehicle. and if it hadn't veered off to the left, i wouldn't be sitting here now. vivian knows she, too, cheated death by seconds driving to work along the a27. still in shock, she took this picture of the crash she missed by a matter of yards. well the fireball went right

over my head, so he must have passed me and hit the carriageway just over my right hand shoulder. i should think within metres of me. because i could smell the aviation fuel when i got out of the car. i think somebody was looking after me that day, definitely. but for those who came close to death, the experience left a lasting legacy. ben bowie is making a film on post—traumatic stress disorder. you can get flashbacks that literally bring you to your knees. literally can just cut you short. i think it's made me feel a bit more aware of my own death. life can be, it's precious, and it can be over in an instant. and every time now i see a disaster on the tv or you hear about it in the news, i know that the thing that is never told about are the people who were just around the edge

of that thing. and what they take is a mental injury, so you are not physically injured, but mentally, you are injured and you have to, you have to accept it and then try and cope with it. i'm joined by the mp for sure him. you were here on the day of the crash. i was literally five minutes before the accident. crash. i was literally five minutes before the accidentlj crash. i was literally five minutes before the accident. i drove past the spot of the cross on my way home. i got home and saw what happened and came straight back. there were many hundreds of people who were very close and it was a miracle that more people won't hurt. the pilot andy hill as been acquitted of the criminal charges against him. the family say they are devastated. it is not what they

wanted. does it make it more difficult for people to move on? i think it does. the families, i was with them in court on wednesday, this is not the verdict they were expecting. it is deeply disappointing. they waited three and a half yea rs disappointing. they waited three and a half years for this with great patience and dignity. it was commented on by thejudge in the trial today. they waited seven weeks for this verdict. they sat through every day of the trial. it is not the verdict they expected. three and a half yea rs the verdict they expected. three and a half years on, they haven't got the closure that today might have provided. we shall have and had the inquest because of the delay in the trial and it is six months away. it is important that no stone is left unturned because they can get a nswe i’s unturned because they can get a nswers to unturned because they can get answers to some of the questions that are still outstanding. this is just one step in a long legal process for the people affected. there is going to be a hearing in a few weeks to determine when the inquest will take place and that could be later in the year. it is expected in the autumn. penny schofield, the coroner, who has done an amazing job working closely with the families, is very sensitive to the families, is very sensitive to the emotions and trauma they have had to live in the courtroom and she is going to make it as easy as it

can be for them. hopefully, it is going to be confirmed that they will be legal to help them get representation which they had been battling for in parliament. hopefully, that can provide some sort of closure at long last. one of the organisers of the airshow said he thinks there could be another airshow here. it is a huge part of the calendar here. it was a huge pa rt the calendar here. it was a huge part of the calendar. it went for 28 yea rs part of the calendar. it went for 28 years and raised a lot of money but this is not the time to be talking about whether the airshow should be coming back. frankly, i doubted myself but today is the day to show sympathy, empathy and support for those families who have a difficult time ahead. thank you very much. a very difficult day here for the community and, in particular, for the families of the 11 men who died. natalie, thank you for the latest. the prime minister has appealed to eu leaders for "one more push" to get her brexit deal through parliament.

speaking in grimsby, theresa may warned of "a moment of crisis" if mps again reject her deal when they vote on tuesday. she said if it was voted down again, it could result in a softer brexit or no brexit "at all" — which she said would be a "political failure". 0ur deputy political editor john pienaar reports from grimbsby. hard work, this, a bit like brexit, or maybe a journey going nowhere, destination unknown. today, the prime minister came to grimsby, where seven out of ten voted to leave, and appealed to mps to back a plan. reject it and no one knows what will happen. we may not leave the eu for many months. we may leave without the protections that the deal provides. we may never leave at all. and then, with brexit talks deadlocked, this message to brussels. butjust as mps will face a big choice next week, the eu has to make a choice, too. the decisions the european union makes over the next few days will have a big impact on the outcome of the vote.

are you simply keen to shift the blame for the way the talks have deadlocked towards the european union and away from yourself? my message to the european union is very clear, this is the moment, this is the time. the british public, as i say, has moved on. they want us to get this done. it takes both sides to get the negotiation through. are you willing to contemplate allowing conservative colleagues, including ministers, to vote to block a no—deal brexit, given you have said it could harm britain and the british people? for those who do not want us to leave without a deal, actually, the best way is to vote for the deal so we leave with that deal. down at the docks, you could find sympathy for mrs may but also impatience. i think margaret thatcher would do a betterjob. i think she has got more balls. but a lot of people didn't like her. obviously, she can help us out and stay by us and try to sort this out, and it would be good for all of us around here. no matter what theresa may

comes up with, they are going to throw it out. it does not help she's a lady. if she was a big, strapping bloke, they might have different views on it. sympathy in the country may comfort mrs may but at westminster, she is suspected of taking brexit down to the wire, hoping mps see her plan as the last, best option. the prime minister could run out of road first. the threat is not just from brexiteers. some pro—european ministers say they will ignore mrs may if her deal fails and vote to stop brexit with no deal. myself and other colleagues will prevent the country from crashing out of the eu by voting against no deal. no deal is not in britain's interests. the labour leader is keen to see mrs may defeated. is he as keen on a referendum or backing away? we are not backing away, we are saying the priority at this moment is to stop a no deal exit. a no—deal exit would be very damaging to jobs and industry. in brussels, the eu's chief negotiator was not impressed.

we are not interested in the blame game. we are interested in a result. just now, people are getting on with daily life. the next brexit setback or breakthrough could change the country's future, but all people here and across the country can do now is wait to see how. john pienaar, bbc news, grimsby. as theresa may appeals to brussels for concessions to get the ‘brexit deal done', the european union's chief brexit negotiator michel barnier has tweeted an offer. he said brussels could offer legal assurances over britain‘s ability to get out of the so called backstop, a contingency plan to avoid a hard border with ireland. 0ur europe correspondent adam fleming has been analysing the tweets. the really interesting one was the fourth tweet in his big twitter thread. you know that uk wide customs union we have negotiated with you was part of the backstop so

there is not a border in the irish sea between great britain and northern ireland ? sea between great britain and northern ireland? you, the uk, could have a unilateral exit mechanism mac mechanism to come out of the backstop in the future if you wanted. the idea that there is to neutralise his accusation thrown at the eu that secretly they want to keep the uk in a customs union against its will. the eu is saying that tweet number four is the proof that tweet number four is the proof that a future government could come out of the customs union bit over the backstop if it wanted. the crucial bit is, the rest of the backstop would still apply in northern ireland. northern ireland would still be part of the eu's customs territory. northern ireland would still have to sign up to about 100 pages worth of eu rules and regulations on goods, products, agriculture and livestock. i imagine the problem people in the uk will have with it is that it doesn't solve the problem the uk parliament has with the backstop. add in

fleming there. johnathan bakers in westminster for us. jonathan, we heard about the most significant pa rt heard about the most significant part of those offers by twitter from michel barnier. is any of this going change the arithmetic and a key vote next week? it certainly doesn't look like it. the response to what michel barnier has had to say this evening has been robust and we have got an idea from the government itself about whether this will offer any kind of a concession to theresa may that will enable her to get a deal through parliament and it really doesn't look like it is going to because the brexit secretary stephen barclay has replied on twitter this evening to michel barnier saying...

effectively saying that putting forward what the eu has here is not going to cut it and if further proof we re going to cut it and if further proof were needed that this offer is not going to be enough to convince enough mps, if any, to vote from the theresa may's deal, nigel dodds has also given his reaction this evening... if this is an indication of where the negotiations are at, then it does not look good for those hoping for a breakthrough before that key vote in parliament on tuesday. jonathan blake, many thanks for the latest from westminster. we'll find out how this story and many others are out how this story and many others a re covered out how this story and many others are covered in tomorrow's front pages at 10:a0pm and 11:30pm this evening are the papers.

0ur guestsjoining me tonight are anne ashworth, associate editor of the times and benedicte paviot, uk correspondent of france 24. a motherfrom uganda has become the first person to be jailed for female genital mutilation in the uk. the woman, who's 37 and can't be named for legal reasons, was sentenced to 11 years. her three—year—old daughter was cut at the family home in east london in 2017. speaking outside the old bailey, lynette woodrow from the crown prosecution service said she hoped the conviction would have a wider impact. fgm is an extremely serious form of child abuse and today's sentence underlines the fact. we at the crown prosecution service have kept in mind all the way through that at the heart of this case is a three—year—old girl. her mother planned and arranged for this procedure to be carried out and she knew it was wrong. her daughter was seriously injured. she then tried to cover

up her crimes by lying about what had happened, but our prosecution was able to present evidence to the jury that cut through her lies. the court heard today about the impact on this young girl. fgm also has a wider impact on the community. i'm very proud of the cps team who have worked so hard with police and council to successfully prosecute this crime. we hope that this conviction encourages those who have experienced fgm or who have suspicions about fgm offences to come forward, knowing that we will treat everyone with sensitivity and respect. there have been clashes in istanbul after turkish police banned a rally marking international women's day in the city. riot police fired tear gas and plastic bullets when thousands of women defied the ban and gathered in central istanbul.

they were demanding greater women's rights and denouncing violence against women. more than 7,000 headteachers across england have warned of a funding crisis, saying they're running out of money for their schools. in a letter sent to three and a half million parents, they say the shortage of money is causing standards to slip and they claim the government is ignoring it. but the department for education says school funding for england is at its highest ever level. 0ur education correspondent frankie mccamley reports. you'd be forgiven for thinking that this is like any other school canteen. this is the head teacher behind the tail because she can't afford the star. other departments are feeling the squeeze. if i take you into the science room and i show you into the science room and i show you that in here we have students working three or four to a group.

you that in here we have students working three orfour to a group. it is about £1.60 to £2 per pupil per year. the head of science has to decide what is going to buy. some of the equipment, the students can do the equipment, the students can do the practical... what are the most extreme situations you have found yourselves in. we haven't had the funds to employ cleaners. i will clea n funds to employ cleaners. i will clean the toilets. how does that make you feel personally? i'm just really cross. i'm not a cross, i am absolutely angry about it. i feel incredibly embarrassed that i'm standing in front of you telling you that i don't have any money but it is not my embarrassment. i am really sad that i can provide for the stu d e nts sad that i can provide for the students within my care. in the sixth form study room, the students tell me they have noticed the purse strings are tightening. due to lack of textiles the classes had to be

combined because it wasn't financially viable to do two separate classes. that meant that in that one lesson where you need that help, the right teacher might not be there. this girl stayed afloat by selling some of its land to nearby property developer but others across the country don't have that luxury. some say they are struggling so much, they might have to shorten the school week. the department for education says funding is at its highest ever level, nearly £41; billion. teachers say what matters is spending per pupil. analysis shows that has actually fallen by 8% since 2010. the government insists there is more money. we are asking schools to do more and we know they have had to absorb costs such as high national insurance contributions, higher teachers pensions contributions. we are spending record amounts in our schools and in this year and the

next financial year, we are giving every local authority more money for every local authority more money for every pupil in every school. but with pupil numbers rising, head teachers are not backing down as they continue to fill their funding gaps. some rain and snow over high ground. the potential for some sunny spells in between those unsettled bouts of weather. during tonight today's rain clears eastwards. a fresh clutch of heavy downpours will move across northern ireland into northern england. showers further north. chile across the northern half of the uk. further south, chile across the northern half of the uk. furthersouth, relatively

mild night. into tomorrow, this wet weather will slide across northern england into the midlands, east anglia. snow over high ground. plenty of shows pushing in from western scotland and northern ireland. be very windy. hello, this is bbc news. i'm carole walker. the headlines: in the past hour, it's been confirmed that the baby of shamima begum, the teenager who fled london to join the islamic state group has died. andrew hill — the pilot whose plane crashed at the shoreham airshow killing 11 people is found not guilty of manslaughter — he apologised outside court to the victims‘ families. i am truly sorry for the part i played in their death and it is a day i will remember for the rest of my life. relatives wept in court

as the verdict was returned — they said they still want answers. it has been a long and complex trial and we feel that the success of mr hill's defence of cognitive impairment is a worrying precedent and could have far—reaching consequences. the prime minister calls on the eu for one last push to get her deal through parliament saying if it fails, brexit may never happen. a headteacher works in the canteen to save her school money — she's one of those thousands who've written to parents warning that they're running out of cash. let's get more now on our main story. the pilot whose plane crashed at shoreham airshow, killing 11 people, has been cleared of manslaughter by gross negligence. andrew hill had been attempting a loop manouevre when his hawker hunterjet exploded into a fireball four years ago. let's speak now to major george bacon, chief executive of the british air display

association. he joins me via webcam from andover. thank you forjoining us. the crash at shoreham has already led to changes at air shows. do you think this is the verdict is going to bring yet more changes?” this is the verdict is going to bring yet more changes? i think it is going to run a bit longer. i'm not a legal expert but of course the coroner has wide—ranging powers at the inquest has not yet started, so i little doubt that some of the things that have come out and the trial will be examined in greater detail, but a huge amount of work is already being undertaken by the whole community and i include the caa and that, because we really have no doubt the greater risk assessment of the third—party spectator area, those people who may have stopped to watch the show but haven't paid for a ticket to actually go in,

spectators have been incredibly well protected from as far as back as 1952 when the last spectator was involved in incident. but the other area is the better definition of what we call the display area, sometimes called a depth display box. it is now much clearer where and when and how an aromatic manoeuvre will take place. the family and some of those who died are not questioning why any form of aerobatic shows are being allowed to continue given what has happened in this case. yes, well, and many respects, we have already redefined the ability for high—performance fashion as to display over land, that restriction has been in place since the shoreham crash and i am sure will be reviewed yet again, thatis sure will be reviewed yet again, that is not been amended in any way as yet by the caa, clearly many other forms of as yet by the caa, clearly many otherforms of air as yet by the caa, clearly many other forms of air shows will

continue, the heritage of intention market is very strong in the uk, and the elements that are allowed to display over the sea of course have a little bit more flexible freedoms to operate in that area, but let's not forget, the airshow is incredibly well supported in the uk for supperfor incredibly well supported in the uk for supper for many years now, incredibly well supported in the uk for supperfor many years now, they reach between five and 6 million people. probably bringing in about 20 million to the uk economy. and are an inspiration to young people as well as raising huge amounts of money for charity. given this in a verdict in the reaction to it, do you think we are going to see more air shows it being scaled back, changing their plans quite dramatically, phibro has a ready suggested it will start scaling back its aerobatics. yes, that is a slightly different case. 0ther pressures on them, a very intense business airport now. it sits within what is now a very congested area. air displays will still continue

their brand a different manner. i think one of the issues was the public expectation cannot be met, especially after the independent decision by the rentero still not display at there. so setting that aside, albeit they are now working very ha rd to aside, albeit they are now working very hard to make the friday a much better public day as well as a success as a stem better public day as well as a success as a stem instance rational events and doing what it doesn't really mess, which is promoting british industry. i think throughout the rest of the country, and displays will still flourish but what perhaps an increase in some restrictions that are coming out of the trial and yet, to be addressed by the coroner himself. but what would you say to those who say given what has happened in this case, given the circumstances and the cause of this crash, it is time to call a halt to these airshows altogether? i will say that it's probably one step too far and i am not insensitive at all to this, i have to know what one of the

families quite well. —— i happen to know when they come in. i have luke really lifting much of the pain as well. —— i happen to know one of the families. there were always completed to be difficulties with this. we will do our very best to ensure that we can't manage the risk through additional training and evaluation and of course, the whole point of having a risk assessment is if there is any doubt as we say in aviation, no doubt, he simply will not happen. if it is not appropriate. thank you forjoining us. america's new commercial spacecraft, spacex dragon, has successfully undocked from the international space station and is now returning to earth. it's due to splash down in the atlantic ocean within the next hour. if the mission is a success, nasa will allow the craft to carry astronauts later this year. 0ur science correspondent

pallab ghosh has the latest. it could not have gone any better. a successful splashdown for the dragon spacecraft. a mission where everything went like clockwork. the day began with the crew of the international space station saying bye to the capsule they may be using on their next mission. a space suited dummy called ripley is on board. nearly six hours later and we see it enter the earth's atmosphere. it's heat sealed using untested technology. it seems to have worked.

it goes exactly to plan. the splashdown was beautiful. the engineers and technicians and everybody on the ground will be checking over all the numbers and data and making sure everything is good for a future mission later this year hopefully. once thought that back nasa is hoping for a return to his golden era. when 50 years ago, it was able to send astronauts to the moon. for eight long years, the agency human space flight missions have been grounded. if dragon possibly christian has gone as good as it seems, those glory days could soon as it seems, those glory days could soon be back. let's take you live to princeton, newjersey where we can speak tojo dunkley — an astrophysicist at princeton university. thank you forjoining us. clearly, this flight thank you forjoining us. clearly, this flight has all gone to plan.

what is the significance of that?” think it is enormously exciting because it means that we can now send rockets and missions into space, we can send rockets and missions into space, we can actually hope to send astronauts soon and i only can we send them to the international space station, we can hope to go further stuff perhaps we really will get to the moon. this craft had a dummy on board, but how close do you think this takes us through the next command flight? i think it is very soon. command flight? i think it is very soon. the big news about this mission was that this flight was it was in this new spacecraft that was actually prepared for people to go on. so the fact is been a success means we are on. so the fact is been a success means we are expecting injuly this year to see real action knots on board the same dragon spacecraft. this of course was paid for in the

brainchild of the line a mess, it was a commercial enterprise. —— eli and musk. this is mark a real shift in the space travel and development? i think it does. it shows a great partnership possible between companies and nasa and other space agencies. we have seen this now from us agencies. we have seen this now from us spacex, we are expecting next month a similar flight from the boeing star liner, test flight and a man flight hopefully later on, a crude flight we say later this year. it is in partnership with nasa and i think the fact we can bring in companies to work with the space agencies and extremely exciting. the space race in the past was always between the superpower and the united states and russia. the soviet union in the past of course. there is now a competition of a different time. that is right. i mean, all the different nations will be trying to

push forward their space exploration now so we are seeing push forward their space exploration now so we are seeing competition within the companies and competition to the nations as well. efforts in china, russia, and in europe as well. i think it is healthy. it is exciting because it means competition is good and will get us back out there. how complex was this mission, essentially this went up to the international space station and came back down again? it is incredibly impressive. just watching it. to actually launch the rocket, said that after the space station, dock, and with conditions such a person can really travel safely on board, that is a huge advance. and then undocked come back down, it lands safely, those are a lot of moving parts. i have enormous

respect for space x the spacex for doing this. thank you forjoining us. police say the powers of stop and search are vital in tackling the rising threat of knife crime. but many campaigners say young black men are being disproportionately targeted and that stop and search is severely damaging trust within their community. as part of bbc crossing divides series linda adey has been to meet a campaigner — against what he says is the misuse of stop and search — and a senior police officer at the front line of the battle against knife crime. this is the met police violent crime task force. they have been told about a stabbing in a fast food takeaway in north london. control, receiving. the gentleman has been stabbed. it appears to be one puncture wound. the man is injured, but not seriously. he'll live. he's not giving us any suspect description. these police officers deal with incidents like this every day. five, six, on the scene.

the patrol goes looking for people carrying weapons. a tactic they use is stop and search. but it can be controversial. you are racist! can you explain to me why i'm handcuffed? this is dijon joseph. he is a sports coach who works with young people. this video of him being searched and handcuffed went viral. i have not given you permission to search me. he has been stopped and searched around 20 times. listen, you haven't told me. what are you doing? so this is where it happened? yeah, so this is where it went down. this is where it is allegedly illegal to fist—bump. .. he thinks black men are being unfairly targeted by police. as an upstanding citizen, it is degrading, to say the least, and it is embarrassing when i'm treated like that. my community know me through who i am and for what i do in my community, and it is embarrassing to be stopped on the side of the road and being treated like you are a criminal, based on what... an alleged profile is. i took dijon to meet the most senior police officer of two london boroughs to discuss his concerns. i am not against stop and search.

i am against when stop and search is misused against citizens like myself, based on how i look, according... that's how i feel. but it's different when you are being approached like you are a criminal, when you know you're not, and somebody is grabbing you and then all of a sudden, they are cuffing you, and then aggressively, you're having your pockets ripped open. it is embarrassing. like i said, it leaves a negative stigma attached even to myself and my business. the way things are at the present time, let's be honest about it, knife crime is hitting all the headlines and the levels of violence. you know, stop and search is the short—term solution. you know, we're not going to fix it now, this year, next year. it is an issue which we are going to have to build and grow as a partnership and as a community. it does work. it does work, hand on heart. i mean, if you are going to be overdramatic about it, you know, you could see stop and search as homicide mitigation, i think. there is a real trust issue between the community and the police in many different areas, and it is something that i believe needs to be re—established.
